Bean to Cup on a budget
Discussion
How much is not $$$$$$$$$$$$?
Our Gaggia Titanium was bought 4 years back specifically because it was the cheapest bean to cup machine I could find ($700 at the time), and has delivered sterling service and thousands of cups.
The Brera seems a decent price on amazon:

I got one that new was ££££ on fleabay for £££. I.e. 1k+ for 200
I just tried that in google translate without success, what language is it?But I could be wrong - I was never very good at languages...
Before you dive in and spend ££££ on a beans to cup machine...
A family memnber has a Siemens beans to cup bought from Gumtree for 70quid to replace their old failed Siemens machine. It makes great coffee (and had clearly been barely touched). Better coffee than another family members Gaggia that cost him ££££. He prefers coffee from the Siemens. The Gaggia is good though.
Both of them run a (decent) second place to my cheap krups grinder and Delonghi esspresso machine that cost about 90quid.
The Gaggia is very well made, the Siemens less so, in fact Siemens wanted a non refundable 100quid just to look at it when said family member couldn't fix it doesn't endear them to me.
My cheap Delongi now needs new gaskets after almost 3 years of daily use.
I would say though that a beans to cup is a lot less faff but the coffee just isn't as good. Still not bad though.
Hope thats of some help.
